The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Illegal immigrants do not get food stamps or SNAP benefits. They are also ineligible for Medicaid or other health benefits. You can look it up rather than relying on Fox News for your information.

Heh. California is able to launder Medicaid money and give some to illegals:

paragoninstitute.org - Californias insurance tax shuffle how federal money ends up paying for medicaid for illegal immigrants

California’s “Money Laundering” Tactics: The state taxes Medicaid insurers and then makes higher payments to those same insurers with that tax revenue. The higher payments enable the state to claim additional federal matching dollars. These federal funds leave California with surplus money to spend elsewhere. This scheme effectively allows the state to “launder” federal Medicaid funds without spending any of its own money.

That sounds kinda illegal.
